Raised...

Not sure how to play these, though I'm sure I played the second one very poorly. The first I think might have been okay, and I ended up winning. Guy made an idiotic raise. I wanted to believe that same with the second hand, but of course he had the flush. I don't completely hate my raise on the turn, but I think I should have laid it down after he still bet into on the river. I dunno...

I might bet the river in the first hand but besides that i think it looks good.

On the second hand, if he'd reraised me on the turn it might have been easier to fold the river (or most likely, just fold the turn right there). I guess he still might have smooth called with a medium-high flush if he was weak-tight. That why I was a little suprised to see him flip over the second to nut flush.

On the first hand, three bet the turn and bet the river.

Hand 1:

I think you have a pretty easy 3-bet on the turn. Looks like he's just being goofy. That 5 couldn't have helped him.

Hand 2 is good.

Oh yeah bet the river in hand 1.

Agreed, you have an overpair and the 5 is not a threat card, unless he's playing something pretty ragged. I don't know anything about this opponent, so I assume that he's not on 78 or two pair with the 5. For that reason 3-bet the turn. If he caps it then I check/call the river, otherwise I bet out again.

If he caps it I'd seriously consider folding the river, depending on what the card was.
